C919

"What's the secret?" In the face of Yang Shangshu's questioning, Hunter Jiang, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, vividly told what he heard and saw.

The stone lion carving at the gate of the manor is very large, which keeps Hunter Jiang and his son away. In addition, the wind and snow are all over the sky, and the vision is not clear, so no one finds them at the gate.

"Lulu..." The sound of wheels turning came from the wind and snow, and then a carriage stopped at the door of the house. No, not one, but several.

A man jumped down from the carriage and knocked on the door. In a short time, the porter who had just driven out Hunter Jiang came out to answer the door. This time, his attitude was very different from that just now, and he said with a smile: "guard Zhang, why are you here?"

The man called guard Zhang looked around cautiously. "I have some things to store in Chuang Tzu. Ask some people to help me."

"Good." As the porter agreed, he went in and called for people. After a while, five strong men came out and went down to carry things in the carriage under guard Zhang's command. They were all three foot square black boxes. They all had good strength and could easily carry a hundred jin of rice, but now they were struggling with this not so big black box.

Looking at the black boxes passing by, the Porter said curiously, "guard Zhang, what are these things in it?"

Zhang guards horizontal his one eye, cold voice way: "shouldn't ask less, don't do you good."

The porter was scared to shrink his neck by his cold voice, and did not dare to speak any more. Seven carriages carried more than 40 black boxes down from them. Five strong men moved back and forth nearly ten times, but they were panting. One of the strong men did not pay attention. He tripped over a stone on the ground and fell to the ground. The box flew away, fell heavily on the ground, and fell out one A snow-white ingot of silver.

Seeing this scene, the strong men all looked straight, silver ingot They're all holding silver ingots? Thinking of this, they suddenly have an impulse to open the box.

If all of them were silver ingots, there would be tens of thousands of taels, or even more, according to the quantity they carried.

One of the ingots of silver fell next to the man who fell down. His eyes were straight and he was about to pick it up subconsciously. His hand was still confused. When he touched the ingot, he was whipped on his hand with a whip. A blood mark appeared immediately. He quickly withdrew his hand and looked up. Guard Zhang stared at him coldly, "what are you doing?"

The strong man was frightened by him and said in a trembling voice: "villain The villain wants to put back the silver ingot. "

"Hurry up!" With the permission of guard Zhang, the strong man quickly picked up the silver ingot and put it back into the box. He was so flustered that he didn't find that there were two missing silver ingots.

After all the boxes were sent to Chuang Tzu, the porter asked cautiously, "guard Zhang, why is there so much silver?"

Guard Zhang said with no expression: "did I forget what I just told you so soon?"

The porter rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "villain It's just to ask without asking. "

Zhang Huwei snorted, "where's housekeeper Wang?"

"Uncle, he's gone shopping. I'm afraid he won't come back until evening. Would you like to wait for him in Chuang Tzu?"

"I have something to do. I can't wait so long." Guard Zhang twisted his brows and thought for a while, then said, "go to warn those people later and tell them not to talk, or you will lose your head."

The porter was startled by what he said, and nodded quickly, "don't worry, these are the old people who have been used in our village for several years. But... "

"But what?"

The porter was embarrassed and said: "you suddenly pull so much silver here, and don't say the reason, in case..." He pointed to the top and said, "it's really hard for a villain to explain."

"Don't worry, no one will ask." Zhang Huwei's words made the porter feel a little suspicious and said tentatively: "is it difficult to This silver is... "

"Silence Zhang Baowei's face changed and he stopped in a hurry. The porter quickly covered his mouth. Although he didn't get a clear answer, he already understood that the silver was from the top.

Zhang huweiping calmed his breath and said, "well, from now on, Chuang Tzu will thank the guests behind closed doors. No one is allowed to go in or out except me and the master. Listen clearly, it's" no entry or exit. ".

"Listen up." The porter nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "When my cousin comes back, I'll tell him all about it. I won't miss a word."

"That's good." After guard Zhang left, the porter went back to Zhuangzi and closed the door tightly.

Guard Zhang and the porter thought that no one had heard their conversation, but they did not know that Hunter Jiang and his son had been hiding behind the stone lions. What they did not expect was that two ingots of silver rolled to their feet.

Hunter Jiang didn't know much, but he liked to go to teahouses to listen to books when he was free. After listening more, he knew something. For example, the imperial treasury kept 521 pieces of silver. For example, the bottom of the silver ingot was engraved with the word "Da Zhou Bao Ding".

The theft of relief money has been a hot topic in Jinling. Now there is so much money in the national treasury, and the appearance of being furtive makes Hunter Jiang suspect. As soon as he returns to the city, he immediately reports to the Ministry of punishment.After a long search for the lost silver, several adults in the hall would not let it go. The Minister of Dali Temple personally led people to search according to the address provided by hunter Jiang. In addition, the censor Zuo Du went to Jingzhao mansion, where all the house deeds of Jinling were recorded, so as to find out the owner of the manor.

"Do you remember that guard Zhang?"

Hunter Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they'll find me. I didn't dare to look around, but I remember his voice. As long as I can hear his voice, I can recognize it."

This is half a day's work. The censor Zuo Du came back first. He didn't look good. He whispered a few words in Yang Shangshu's ear. Then he was surprised and said, "have you seen it carefully?"

"It's true." When he said these four words, the eyes of the censor Zuo Du passed over Yu Huai's face. Although it was very subtle, Yu Huai still caught it, and his heart sank.

"I see." Yang Shangshu nodded solemnly. After a while, the Minister of Dali temple also came back. With him, there were more than 40 black boxes of three feet square.

As soon as he saw these black boxes, Hunter Jiang pointed out: "yes, yes, what villains see are these black boxes, which are full of 521 silver ingots."

What happened next also confirmed what Hunter Jiang said. All the black boxes were opened. For a moment, the bright silver light lit up the whole court, which made people unable to open their eyes.
